Burr Sutter, Senior Product Manager, Red Hat

JBoss by Red Hat contributes to numerous OSS projects and the overall open source ecosystem is constantly producing new tools, frameworks, engines and techniques.

If you are “building your stack” for your next project, trying to navigate the vast OSS world can be a bewildering and complex undertaking. Burr will highlight some key technologies that have a tremendous impact on the typical enterprise application. Most importantly he will provide guidance into how JBoss is making your custom application development more productive.

About the Speaker Burr is responsible for the JBoss Developer experience covering tools and frameworks. Burr is currently an Oracle Java Champion, previously President of the Atlanta Java Users Group, founder of the DevNexus conference as well as the Atlanta chapter of the IASA. He has been a presenter at numerous developer conferences such as JavaOne, Javapolis (Devoxx), No Fluff Just Stuff, Jazoon and the TDC in Sao Paulo.

JBoss is much more than an Application server. With industry-leading frameworks such as Seam, Infinispan, and Hibernate, JBoss is raising the bar for enterprise Java. Our membership is comprised of industry practitioners, open source evangelists, and Java craftsmen. Each month, we meet to highlight some key JBoss technologies.

We are also active supporters of the DC area Technology User Groups community and coordinate regularly with them to hold joint meetings and share our insights and experiences with each other.

If you want to know more about JBoss technologies and how their role in the Federal Government, local area startups, and other DC area businesses, this is the group for you.
